How does a kidney stone cause damage to the kidney?
A kidney stone can cause damage to the kidney primarily through obstruction of the urinary tract, leading to increased pressure within the kidney. This pressure can impair kidney function and potentially cause tissue damage. Additionally, if the stone causes inflammation or infection, it may further compromise the kidney's health. Over time, recurrent kidney stones can lead to chronic kidney disease.
Your son was just diagnosed with kidney stones one on the way down.will he be in pain for a while or just while he actually passes it?
When the stone sits in the kidney, it rarely causes problems, but should it fall into the ureter, it acts like a dam. The kidney continues to function and make urine, which backs up behind the stone, stretching the kidney. This pressure build up causes the pain of a kidney stone, but it also helps push the stone along the course of the ureter. When the stone enters the bladder, the obstruction in the ureter is relieved and the symptoms, and pain, of a kidney stone are resolved.
